HWG 11 Posted January 2, 2013 I got this from Toro on New Years Eve. Here are some iphone shots. My impression? VERY well made, solid, heavy watch, decent bracelet with good stamping. Tight bezel, accurate screw down chrono pushers, awesome lume. For the money, this is an incredible rep.

HWG 11 Posted January 2, 2013 Movement is A7750 auto on the Chrono, and Breitling Caliber 17 on the yellow. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mostling 40 Posted January 2, 2013 Hey, if you compare for example the rubber in the bezel how does the rep stand up against the gen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corv99 2 Posted January 2, 2013 Lovely looking watch this! Been undecided on the non chrono version, but that is something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sequoia 0 Posted January 2, 2013 Can you say what the obvious differences are between the rep and the gen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HWG 11 Posted January 2, 2013 Can you say what the obvious differences are between the rep and the gen? Its tough to say for sure, as my rep is a chrono, and my gen is not. Best I could compare for you is the bezel/insert. and at first glance they are very close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadPickle 2,782 Posted January 2, 2013 Nice that mate, not generally keen on chrono's but that's a lovely piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiefanatc 16 Posted January 2, 2013 That looks fantastic, and VERY close to the GEN. Dangit...now there's another one that I get to put on my list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooda 0 Posted January 2, 2013 Wow. Great watch(es)! From the pics, I can barely tell the difference in quality between the chrono rep and non-chrono gen. Bracelet on the rep looks very nice as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Higs 73 Posted January 2, 2013 Also interested in a bezel comparison. Pics I've seen of the rep bezel on these have left me thinking the shaping of the numbers was a bit 'clumsy' but yours looks (i) better than other reps I've seen and (ii) very close to your gen bezel. I may be developing a bit of an obsession with the '4' of the '45' on the bezel - if you could take a couple of close-up shots I'd appreciate it. Also, how does the bracelet compare?

Also, how does the bracelet compare? at your request: pics of the 45 on the rep chrono bezel: 45 on my gen non chrono: The rep bracelet is good. the closure is not as tight as the gen, but Im not worried that it will come loose. a little squeak here and there, but the baby oil bath will solve that real fast.

HWG 11 Posted January 2, 2013 Now, note, these are zoomed in with my iphone. To make naked eye, they are very very close. Once studying the comparison shots, I can see some subtle differences, but nothing that would make me not want to buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
